The Enchanting Island
of Calypso
Gozo and tiny Comino provide a tranquil haven for
a tempo and scene change.
The charm of Gozo is apparent the moment you arrive there. Greener, more rural
and smaller than Malta, life on Gozo moves at a leisurely pace. The rhythms
dictated by the seasons, fishing and agriculture.
In winter and spring, the Island is covered with flowering herbs and lush
crops. In summer, it’s awash with oleander, bougainvillea and geranium.
Gozo is steeped in myth. Thought to be the legendary Calypso’s isle of Homer’s
Odyssey, it’s a peaceful, mystical backwater. Baroque Churches and old stone
farmhouses dot the countryside.
Its rugged landscape and spectacular coastline await exploration. Choose from
rocky inlets to red sand beaches or sail, snorkel, dive and fish. Gozo has some
of the Mediterranean’s best dive sites.
But there’s more. Gozo comes complete with historical sites, forts and amazing
panoramas. Plus one of the archipelago’s best-preserved prehistoric temples,
Ggantija. Not to mention a nightlife and cultural calendar all its own, and
some great dining out.
